[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 311003, member: 4353"] looking at the placement of the sheath in this painting I think we can get a good idea of just how much artistic license was used. I don't think fat neccesarily means soft, but I do know that an animal that fattens easily will do better than most leaner types on short grass and brush. I think there is enough masculinity and to see how much muscling there is behind the fat is impossible, so the next best thing you can do is look at the usual indicators of muscling, ie the fore-arm, length of rump and how low the muscling carries on down the hind leg. The rest is just a guess from what can only be described as a very idealistic impression of a great bull. not neccesarily a great painting or a very realistic one [/QUOTE]
